So if one wanted to share a form between two functions (e.g. an Add and and Edit function) what might be considered best practice for hiding one of the TextFields (and it's label) that is only applicable to one of the operations?

hiding the label and :

hiding the label and :

the hidden true does indeed do whats its suppose to, but the job is still only one third done. I still need to hide the label and the semicolon. giving a blank label will take care of that, but its still : there. What I am really after is just the equal of <input type='hidden' .. how can I do this?

Hi All - New to all of this. First I have to say that I love this library. I think a great job was done by all involved putting this together. After reading this I still can't get the label to appear/disappear. I agree it is kinda silly to have the label but not the form element visible. Seems to me that you should be able to directly access each Config setting within an element. Something like ext.formpanel.elementid.hiddenLabel=true this way you could easily set any config setting in a function and handle it through an event ect. Also a hideall and showall for a particular form element would be helpfull as well. It would simply hide or show everything that has a display under that elment. When I first set hide I assumed this would happen. Am I missing something? I ran around in circles for hours and hours and hours over this one. Is there a cleaner way to do it then is discribed here and also if a bit more code context could be put around the examples I would REALLY appriciate it. I'm still wet behind the ears! Many thanks in advance.
